Wedding paella catering in Hampton Hill
Wedding paella catering in Hampton Hill, cooked live
Paella has a natural rhythm: once the rice goes in, it takes about 20 minutes, and it is best served right away. We plan it around your speeches and photos. Whether it is destination-style celebrations at home and rustic barn weddings, we’ll put together a menu of a paella wedding breakfast, Spanish desserts and canapé tapas.
Couples in Hampton Hill frequently marry locally and hold the reception at a venue or garden nearby. Live paella works well at both, as long as there is a ventilated spot to cook. In London, parking and loading need planning early. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and halal included, with each paella cooked in its own pan.

Dietary needs and planning tips
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. Our advice:
- Ask about your date as soon as you have one
- Collect dietary needs on the RSVP
- Tell us when speeches will be
- Tell us how many evening guests to expect
If things run late, and we will adjust the cooking so it is still served fresh.
Add sangria, or bar staff to serve your own drinks.
For planners, venues and organisers
Throwing a party at home? Send us a photo of the garden and tell us about access, and we will tell you honestly whether live paella will work.
If your event is in a public space, such as a park, check what permission you need first. We can send whatever the landowner or council needs from us.
Can I cook paella for a crowd myself?
A DIY paella party works for small groups. For larger numbers, mixed diets or a wedding, a caterer takes the pressure off, and keeps vegetarian and allergy-safe pans separate.
DIY catering keeps costs down, but the host spends the party cooking. With live paella catering, you get the theatre without the work.
Where we can cook in Hampton Hill
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the space before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Parking close enough to carry equipment
- Clearance from fences, hedges, branches and anything flammable
- Good ventilation: outdoors, or an open-sided cover
Hampton Hill is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking can be tight: tell us about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

The closest is Fulwell station, roughly 0.6 miles away.

Yes, at a garden, marquee or venue nearby with a suitable spot to cook. Churches rarely have space for live cooking, so the meal is generally elsewhere. Tell us where the reception will be.

About the dishes
Evening paella
Paella makes great evening food, especially after a few hours on the dance floor.
Canapé tapas
Canapés keep guests happy between the ceremony and the meal, without spoiling appetites.
What wedding paella catering costs
Every event is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Waiting and bar staff
- Travel, parking and access
- How many courses
- Your choice of paellas
Live paella frequently compares well with a sit-down meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and fewer staff to pay. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Where the event is
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Whether you want canapés, tapas or desserts
- A picture of the cooking space, if it is a garden or field
We quote for each event separately, so the price fits what you actually want. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
What happens on the day
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, unload, set up the burners and prepare the stock. Guests normally gather round to watch as the paella takes shape.
